The '''''Nativity''''' (also known as the '''''Berlin Tondo''''') is a painting by the [[Italy|Italian]] [[Renaissance]] painter [[Masaccio]], c. 1427-1428.

This round plate with a [[Nativity of Jesus in art|''Nativity'']] on the front and a ''Putto and small dog'' on the back dates from Masaccio's last period in [[Florence]], before he went to [[Rome]]. It was defined by experts as the first Renaissance [[Tondo_(Art)|tondo]], and they drew attention to the important innovations and the correct architectural perspective reflecting a greater knowledge and affirmation of the classicism of [[Brunelleschi]]. Here the Florentine idiom is evident in the colour sequences of the geometrical patterns on the walls of the building and in the court. This is in perfect harmony, and was to appear again in the stories of [[Fra Angelico]] and the architecture of [[Michelozzo]] in [[San Marco]].
